Rachel had her first real injury, a cut on the corner of her eye. Mom warned me the first time you see your child bleed, you totally freak and she was right - I did! Rachel was doing her normal flipping and flopping on the changing table while I was changing her diaper. She bumped her head, or so I thought, and when she turned around to face me I saw the blood near her eye. I grabbed her and ran downstairs to show Richard, I was already thinking we needed to go to the ER and she would have stitches. Richard of course was the more calm one and made me realize I didn't even see how bad the cut was, of course it wasn't that bad. After about 10 mins. Rachel was ready to get down and play again so she obviously was fine. Her eye is a little bruised but I'm so glad we didn't have to go to the ER.
I know this isn't the last time I'll see blood but that would be fine with me if it were. I hate the sight of blood and even worse when it's from my child. I guess this goes with the territory of being parents.
